Chapter 813
How did she know?
Ji Yunshu explained, "When you asked the Virtuous Prince about the Treasure Orchid, I guessed it from your expression. There must be a deeper meaning behind the Treasure Orchid, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be frowning. "
Previously, Mo Ruo had secretly plucked a leaf from the Baolan Tree to study.
He got the result!
And that result was something he never expected. All these years, Jing Xian didn't drink the medicine he prescribed, but poured it all into the potted plant!
The medicine contained Zishan Xu, which was very nutritious for the growth of the Baolan Tree. That was why the tree's flowers were so beautiful and beautiful.
But …
Why?
Why?
He was silent for a long time before nodding. "That's right. There is a big problem with that Baolan Tree. All these years, Jing Xian poured all the medicine I prescribed into the potted plant without drinking it! But if he didn't drink the medicine I prescribed, why did his body get better? I've been diagnosing him for many years, and I know that he has a weak disease. If he doesn't take the medicine, he won't get better in a short time. "
Puzzled!
"What about that pigeon?" Ji Yunshu asked again.
"Pigeon?"
"On the way back to the capital, we were sheltering from the rain in the temple. I saw a pigeon with a bamboo slip tied to its leg. When I chased after it, the bamboo slip was gone. I only saw a monk limping. I remember that there was a round black mark on the pigeon's left wing. Coincidentally, I saw that pigeon at the Virtuous Prince's place."
That can't be wrong!
Mo Ruo's expression darkened, and the stone in his heart grew heavier. He frowned, and the words were stuck in his throat for a long time. He lowered his eyes and said, "I've seen the bamboo slip on the pigeon's leg!"
"Huh?"
"The last time I went to look for Jing Xian, I saw him take a bamboo slip from the pigeon's leg with my own eyes. He thought I didn't know."
The atmosphere became very heavy.
It seemed that Jing Xian had too many secrets.
So many that it made people shudder.
But then, Mo Ruo was puzzled. "But he stays in the palace all year round. The only people he knows outside are me and Jing Rong. Who else would he keep in contact with? And why didn't he drink the medicine I prescribed him? "
His heart was pounding!
Ji Yunshu took a deep breath and asked him seriously, "Then now … do you still want to help him leave the palace in the name of entering the court?"
"…"
"The Sage King …"
"I promised him!" Mo Ruo's words immediately stopped Ji Yunshu from saying anything else.
She fell silent.
He hesitated!
He even felt a little helpless!
She met Mo Ruo's resolute gaze and gritted her teeth. "Fine."
Agreed!
Mo Ruo opened his mouth, as if he was surprised that she had agreed so quickly.
Ji Yunshu replied, "A man must keep his word and not go back on his word. Since you have promised him and I have promised to help you with this matter, I will try my best to help the Virtuous King in court. However, Mo Ruo, I still have to remind you." Pausing for a moment, he said very seriously, "If Your Majesty really wanted to allow him to leave the palace and build a mansion, you would have done so long ago. Why did you trap him in the palace for so many years in the name of recuperating? You have to understand the mystery behind this. After all, we have the Crown Prince as our chariot and Prince Yi as our mirror. "
First, the Crown Prince acted as a chariot, and now, Prince Yi acted as a warning.
Mo Ruo listened to these words.
But …
He said, "I want to gamble on my trust in him."
What else could Ji Yunshu say?
The two of them were silent.
The carriage also gradually moved forward.
After Ji Yunshu returned to Bamboo Creek Garden, she sat in her room, thinking about how to let the Virtuous King leave the palace.
But she was also worried.
As she pondered, night fell.
Jing Rong returned from his work and heard from the manservant that Ji Yunshu stayed in her room after returning. He didn't know what she was thinking about, but she was so serious that she didn't even drink a sip of water.
Inside the room, Ji Yunshu propped up her chin with her hand, her eyes slightly gloomy.
The candlelight in front of her eyes flickered faintly, shining into her black eyes. It was suffused with a kind of inexplicable sadness.
She was so lost in thought that she didn't notice Jing Rong standing at the door.
Jing Rong stood there for a long time without stepping in. He tilted his head and asked the manservant, "Did Lord Ji go to the Ministry of Justice?"
"No, she went with Young Master Mo."
"Mo Ruo?" He frowned, "Went to Yuhua Pavilion?"
"Yes, she went to the palace. She stayed there for almost four hours before coming out."
Went to the palace?
Mo Ruo brought her there?
Jing Rong thought about it carefully and seemed to understand something.
Mo Ruo's purpose for entering the palace was to see Jing Xian. As for why he brought Ji Yunshu along, it was probably related to the matter of Jing Xian entering the court. Coupled with Ji Yunshu's frowning expression, it was easy to imagine that Mo Ruo must have given her a very difficult problem.
The manservant saw that Jing Rong was thinking for a long time and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, don't you want to see Miss Ji?"
"No need."
Jing Rong's expression was solemn and his eyes deepened. He turned around and left.
Early the next morning, he hurriedly entered the palace and knelt to beg Qi Zhen Emperor to allow Jing Xian to enter the court.
Qi Zhen Emperor refused.
He seemed to have a grudge.
But Jing Rong was very determined. In the end, Qi Zhen Emperor issued an order to allow Jing Xian, who was gradually recovering, to enter the court.
When the news came out, it caused a stir in the court.
When Ji Yunshu heard about it, she immediately went to find Jing Rong.
At this moment, Jing Rong was feeding the fish in the pond.
The pond was very big and there were many fish in it. When Ji Yunshu first moved here, Jing Rong ordered people to dig a pond. He said that when Ji Yunshu was bored, she could come here to feed the fish and relax.
But she had never come here.
Jing Rong grabbed a few bait and scattered it into the pond. His back was facing Ji Yunshu.
She walked behind him, and the first thing she asked was, "Why?"
'Why?'
Jing Rong smiled and leisurely continued to feed the fish without turning his head. "I'm not interested in the throne."
"But Prince Xian …" You're not simple!
Jing Rong interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.
"Mo Ruo told me everything." He played it down.
Then, Jing Rong scattered all the bait in his hand into the pond. A school of carp swarmed over and fought to be the first to eat.
They crashed into each other.
